Along similar lines to what John Levine said,: Obviously doing e2e 
crypto gets you signatures. Since we are blue-skying here, I think it is 
perfectly plausible to say, "If you want to send me e2e encrypted 
messages, you also have to send me signed messages, and you don't or 
your signature is not in my contacts list already, your encrypted mail 
is going to bounce." I think it's possible that in the fullness of time, 
many users go to a contact-list model of email (a la IM) where the mail 
simply bounces unless it has a signature that is already in the contacts 
list.
